Really amazing plants, Brian :) I've seen some on the SRGC forum and or IRG magazine? before, and loved them then; both forms you show are stunning! I think Alplains was offering some fuzzy spathulata, presumably not as fuzzy as these?

I'd like to show also my plants of Townsendia spathulata known as 'CottonBall'. I got it from NARGS seed exchange; now it's growing in different spots in my garden - first in small though in full sun, second in rock garden under the roof overhang, third in polycarbonate alpine house. I find then not difficult in such conditions, bu also not too easy. In open garden in my climate in western Poland they would be difficult to keep because of moist autumns and winters. Now, when going dormant they are definitely more like small wooly balls - on photos in intensive growth period they are less compact and wooly.
